Fife drink driver was NINE times the limit

A Fife drink driver was found to be almost nine times over the limit when police tested him.

Alan Downie appeared from custody at Dunfermline Sheriff Court following the offence.

The court heard that he had hit the booze in a big way after a “traumatic week”.

Downie, 50, of Pitcorthie Drive, Dunfermline, admitted that on November 24 on the A921 Burntisland to Aberdour road he drove a car having consumed excess alcohol.

His reading was 186 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the limit being 22 microgrammes.

Defence agent James Moncrieff said his client was a first offender.

The solicitor told the court Downie did not normally drink but had endured a “traumatic week”. This had involved him finding a relative dead when he went to visit him in care home.

“Foolish decisions were made thereafter,” added Mr Moncrieff.

Sheriff Craig McSherry called for reports and imposed an interim driving ban. Bail was granted and Downie will be sentenced on December 21.
